Chapter 379: Lawrends First Wife (2/2)

”Aezel, do you still remember when I took a test for my element affinity?” Lawrend suddenly asked.

”Yes. Did you realize something?”

”Back then, the crystal ball showed lightning, but the lightning came from my body,” Lawrend replied.

”And?”

”And I remember seeing a rainbow of colors swirl in the crystal ball before the lightning mana from my body took over. Doesn't that mean that my lightning mana is the one hindering me from using other magic?”

Lawrend couldn't help but remember what the Goddess told him before. She said to him that his lightning mana would prevent him from using the other elements.

And those words matched with his hypothesis. Then, the way for him to practice the other elements is to drain his mana.

The revelation made Lawrend's mind whir. He was enlightened. The path ahead became clear to him.

”No, Master. You're not doing that again,” Aleshia realized what he was thinking.

She was already horrified when she learned that he had attempted to drain his mana before. She won't let him do it again, especially on her watch.

”But Aleshia, the benefits! Think about the benefits. I will be able to practice both Fire and Lightning magic,” Lawrend said to her excitedly.

He will be like L*n M*ng and control the power of Thunder and Fire. The most powerful magic combination in existence!

”No, mean no, Master. I'm not risking losing you,” Aleshia replied angrily.

She was worried that he would mess up and die. Draining your mana is akin to draining all the oxygen in your body. If that doesn't tell you how dangerous it was, I don't know what will.

”I… What do I have to do for you to say yes?” Lawrend asked.

”As long as I'm your maid, I will not allow you to do something so dangerous,” Aleshia said seriously.

She crossed her arms together and stared down at him.

Lawrend puckered his lips and tried to think of a way to convince her.

”What if you become my wife?” Lawrend asked seriously.

”E-Ehh??? Your logic doesn't make sense, Master!” Aleshia shouted, flustered.

”If you're my wife, you're not my maid, right?” Lawrend said to her with a playful smirk on his face.

”Geez! You're making me blush. I-If I become the First Wife, I will allow it as long as everyone assists you while you do it,” Aleshia replied with a red face.

”Deal!” Lawrend answered without any hesitation.

Her condition doesn't mean anything to him. After all, he had already decided in his mind long ago that she would be his First Wife.

”A-Are we getting married already??” Aleshia asked in a panic. Her heart wasn't ready for the sudden relationship boost.

”No. It will be in the future, but at that time, even if you become my wife, I want you to still be my maid,” Lawrend said to her warmly.

”Geez. What kind of a wife is that? Fine.”

Aleshia's cheeks flushed in embarrassment. She was only good at killing people. She wasn't used to flirting with someone.

”Lawrend's Wife,” Lawrend answered smoothly.

”!!”

Aleshia's heart skipped a beat, and she looked away from him.

”If you die, I will follow you,” Aleshia muttered softly.

”Well, I will never die. I still haven't seen my kids,” Lawrend replied to her confidently.
